On the evening of February 6, 2025, a devastating fire destroyed The Learning Hub—an essential after-school and summer program serving the children and families of Northview Heights Estates, a Pittsburgh Housing Authority community. The Learning Hub was a place of hope, learning, and opportunity for countless children, providing tutoring, mentorship, and a safe space to grow. Now, that space is gone.

Thankfully, no one was in the building when the fire started, and no one was injured while controlling the fire. However, the children and families of the community are deeply saddened by this loss and are concerned about losing the much-needed programs that The Learning Hub has provided over the years. The United Methodist Church Union has been serving the Pittsburgh community for over 131 years, creating and sustaining vital programs like The Learning Hub. We are determined to rebuild and continue our mission of providing educational and social support for the children of Northview Heights.
